Fishermen’s Wharf

This building brings back a lot of memories. When I was growing up on Auckland’s North Shore, my family went out to dinner at this restaurant once or twice. Back then in the 1970s and 1980s it was called “Fishermen’s Wharf and is located at the end of Northcote Point looking out at the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

It was built in 1971 by restauranteur Bob Sell to be a seafood restaurant on top of the old Northcote Wharf. It is now named “The Wharf” and from what I’ve read there is evidence of an Afghan/Middle Eastern eatery in there but that’s about it.

Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

  1. This is an interesting architectural piece. A beautiful spot for a restaurant.

  2. I can imagine how special those dinners must have felt, with seafood served right by the wharf and the bridge lights twinkling in the background.

  3. Nice to see it’s still in use. Looks like a great position above the bay

  4. Although I am not a fan of fish, it looks like a wonderful location for a meal.
